Main trade-off
Sennheiser ACCENTUM Plus Wireless
The documented USB setup disconnects Bluetooth. It is not the documented way to keep a phone connected wirelessly while using computer USB audio.
Head-to-head
ACCENTUM Plus vs Space One Pro: Plus supports USB work, Pro folds for a bag
The short answer
Choose ACCENTUM Plus for permitted USB playback, microphone input and charging on a compatible computer, with Bluetooth disconnected and a data adapter if its USB-A cable needs one. Choose Space One Pro when the protected folded package fits your bag and Bluetooth or 3.5 mm audio is enough. Its base kit supplies a pouch. LDAC needs a supporting Android 8 or later source and app setup, sacrificing dual connections, Dolby Audio and playtime. Neither supplies LDAC with simultaneous phone-and-laptop connections. These differences do not identify a sound or comfort winner.
Before you choose
The reasoning and the trade-offs
A USB socket does not make the same desk setup
One compatible, permitted USB data connection can replace a separate computer microphone or audio adapter with ACCENTUM Plus. That simplifies the desk only if disconnecting Bluetooth is acceptable and the USB-A cable or suitable data adapter fits the host. It does not establish better microphone quality or a simultaneous wireless phone connection.
What this is based on
Sennheiser explicitly describes USB input and output on printed page 29. Space One Pro labels USB-C as charging and documents 3.5 mm for wired listening, without an equivalent USB audio setup. This is a documented connection difference, not a microphone-quality comparison.
Main trade-off
soundcore Space One Pro
The guide documents USB-C charging and 3.5 mm wired listening, without the equivalent USB playback-and-microphone setup.
Sennheiser ACCENTUM Plus Wireless
- Choose it for
- You need USB playback, microphone input and charging on a compatible, permitted computer, with Bluetooth disconnected. The supplied USB-A cable needs a suitable data adapter on a USB-C-only host. If Bluetooth already covers the job, ACCENTUM Plus adds little here.
- Main trade-off
- The documented USB setup disconnects Bluetooth. It is not the documented way to keep a phone connected wirelessly while using computer USB audio.
soundcore Space One Pro
- Choose it for
- Space One Pro solves a checked bag-fit problem with its folded headphones plus your chosen protection, and Bluetooth or 3.5 mm audio is enough. The base kit has a pouch, not a hard case. It does not establish a direct USB headset route.
- You want LDAC from a supporting Android 8 or later source, can complete soundcore app and firmware setup, and accept one connected device, no Dolby Audio and shorter playtime. Space One Pro cannot combine LDAC with phone-and-laptop dual connections. Codec support does not prove better sound.
- Main trade-off
- The guide documents USB-C charging and 3.5 mm wired listening, without the equivalent USB playback-and-microphone setup.
About this comparison
Compare ACCENTUM Plus and Space One Pro for USB headset use, folding and LDAC, including the connection limits that can reverse the choice.
A laptop cable, a bag pocket and a two-device listening routine ask different things of headphones. ACCENTUM Plus offers a documented USB headset setup. Space One Pro folds inward and supports LDAC, but LDAC changes which other wireless features remain available.
Winner by situation
Start with what you need it to do
The computer cable must carry listening, microphone input and charging
ACCENTUM Plus can replace a separate microphone connection when the compatible computer permits USB audio, Bluetooth is disconnected and its USB-A cable or suitable data adapter fits. Complete the playback and recording selection in the connection check. Space One Pro’s charging port does not establish that headset workflow.
- Sennheiser ACCENTUM Plus Wireless
- Better fit
- soundcore Space One Pro
- Caution
The headphones must fold inward for a checked bag space
Check the inward-folded headphones inside the protection you will carry. Space One Pro helps only if that complete package fits where the alternative does not and Bluetooth or 3.5 mm listening is sufficient. A hard case is separate from the base kit’s pouch.

- Caution
- soundcore Space One Pro
- Better fit
One compatible Android device supplies LDAC music
Space One Pro can serve this single-device routine after compatible Android 8 or later, app and firmware checks. LDAC excludes dual connections and Dolby Audio and shortens playtime. If a second device must remain connected, use another mode or change the requirement.
- Sennheiser ACCENTUM Plus Wireless
- Not suitable
- soundcore Space One Pro
- Better fit
The phone and laptop both need to stay connected over Bluetooth
Both provide two-device Bluetooth connections with one playback source at a time. Keep LDAC off on Space One Pro and expect its last-started audio, including some notifications, to interrupt the other device. ACCENTUM Plus USB setup instead requires Bluetooth to be disconnected. Neither arrangement mixes the sources.
- Sennheiser ACCENTUM Plus Wireless
- Good
- soundcore Space One Pro
- Good
LDAC and simultaneous phone-and-laptop connections are both mandatory
ACCENTUM Plus does not list LDAC. Space One Pro’s LDAC mode disables dual connections, even with a supporting Android source and current firmware. Choose a different verified setup rather than combining mutually exclusive features.
- Sennheiser ACCENTUM Plus Wireless
- Not suitable
- soundcore Space One Pro
- Not suitable
Both protected packages fit and ordinary Bluetooth already works
USB and folding no longer settle the choice. Check your own fit and the complete package you want. This evidence does not establish a winner for sound, ANC, calls or comfort, and an LDAC label alone cannot do that.

What matters in practice
The differences that matter
A USB socket does not make the same desk setup
One compatible, permitted USB data connection can replace a separate computer microphone or audio adapter with ACCENTUM Plus. That simplifies the desk only if disconnecting Bluetooth is acceptable and the USB-A cable or suitable data adapter fits the host. It does not establish better microphone quality or a simultaneous wireless phone connection.
How we reached this conclusion
Sennheiser explicitly describes USB input and output on printed page 29. Space One Pro labels USB-C as charging and documents 3.5 mm for wired listening, without an equivalent USB audio setup. This is a documented connection difference, not a microphone-quality comparison.
The folding benefit depends on what goes around the headphones
Compare what actually goes in the bag. Space One Pro folds inward but its base kit supplies only a pouch, while ACCENTUM Plus lies flat in its carry case. Added protection can erase the packing benefit. If both protected packages fit, folding alone gives little reason to switch.
How we reached this conclusion
The two manuals show different storage procedures. The selected soundcore listing identifies the pouch and cables. No measured complete-package dimensions or protection test supports a claim that one always packs smaller or protects better.
LDAC and a waiting second device are different choices
LDAC makes the second waiting device a tradeoff. On a supporting Android 8 or later source with the required app and firmware setup, Space One Pro offers LDAC but loses dual connections and Dolby Audio and uses more power. Keep LDAC off for phone-and-laptop switching. An iPhone supplies no such LDAC reason.
How we reached this conclusion
The A3062 operating sequence explicitly warns about dual connections and Dolby Audio before enabling LDAC. Sennheiser lists a different set of supported codecs. These are mode and source constraints, not proof that one headphone sounds better.
Check your own setup
Which headphones work with the way you listen?
Start with the way you listen. USB charging is not the same as USB audio, and some headphones need power even with a cable. These choices are examples until you apply yours.

Battery figures are manufacturer claims for the stated mode, not measured travel time. Volume, codec, calls and battery age change runtime. Closed earcups can still leak sound. Weight alone does not predict comfort. USB audio needs a compatible source and cable. This check does not assess sound quality, microphone quality or amplifier power.
Choice A
Sennheiser, ACCENTUM Plus Wireless
ACCENTUM Plus Wireless
ACCENTUM Plus provides USB playback and microphone input while charging, after Bluetooth is disconnected and the host selects the headphones for audio. It stores with flat earcups in the supplied carry case. The supplied USB cable has a USB-A host end.
- Best matched use
- You need USB playback, microphone input and charging on a compatible, permitted computer, with Bluetooth disconnected. The supplied USB-A cable needs a suitable data adapter on a USB-C-only host. If Bluetooth already covers the job, ACCENTUM Plus adds little here.
Checked facts
- A cable for computer sound and microphone: USB playback and microphone input, with charging
- Packing method: Earcups lie flat in the supplied carry case
- LDAC from an Android source: No LDAC in the supported codec list
- Phone and laptop on Bluetooth: Two active connections, playback from one at a time
Choice B
soundcore, Space One Pro
Space One Pro
Space One Pro folds inward and the selected base package includes a carry pouch. Its documented wired path is 3.5 mm. LDAC requires a supporting Android 8 or later source and app setup, with dual connections and Dolby Audio unavailable in that mode.
- Best matched use
- Space One Pro solves a checked bag-fit problem with its folded headphones plus your chosen protection, and Bluetooth or 3.5 mm audio is enough. The base kit has a pouch, not a hard case. It does not establish a direct USB headset route.
Checked facts
- A cable for computer sound and microphone: USB-C charging port and a documented 3.5 mm listening path
- Packing method: Rotate the earcups, fold one inward, then align the other
- LDAC from an Android source: LDAC after compatible-source and app setup
- Phone and laptop on Bluetooth: Dual connections, with LDAC disabled
Meaningful differences
What changes the fit
| What changes | Sennheiser ACCENTUM Plus Wireless | soundcore Space One Pro | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| A cable for computer sound and microphone | USB playback and microphone input, with charging | USB-C charging port and a documented 3.5 mm listening path | ACCENTUM Plus has an explicit USB headset setup. Disconnect Bluetooth and select it for playback and recording on a compatible computer. Do not infer Space One Pro USB audio from the connector. |
| Packing method | Earcups lie flat in the supplied carry case | Rotate the earcups, fold one inward, then align the other | Space One Pro changes the packed shape, but neither a product photo nor a percentage reduction proves that the protected headphones fit your bag. Compare the package you will actually carry. |
| LDAC from an Android source | No LDAC in the supported codec list | LDAC after compatible-source and app setup | Space One Pro can meet a specific LDAC requirement, but only with a supporting Android 8 or later source. Its LDAC mode gives up dual connections and Dolby Audio and uses more power. |
| Phone and laptop on Bluetooth | Two active connections, playback from one at a time | Dual connections, with LDAC disabled | Neither mixes the two sources. Space One Pro can switch to the device that starts playback last, and notification audio may interrupt. Choose the mode for your routine rather than adding incompatible features together. |
| Ordinary analog listening | Supplied 2.5 mm headphone-end to 3.5 mm source cable | Supplied 3.5 mm AUX cable | Both wired procedures disable Bluetooth. ACCENTUM Plus documents playback with an empty battery, but ANC still needs charge. Space One Pro leaves only its NC button active in wired mode. Do not assume the wireless controls or call workflow carry over. |
| Selected base package | Black ACCENTUM Plus, USB and analog cables, carry case | Space One Pro, USB charging and AUX cables, carry pouch | The selected identities are ACCENTUM Plus and Space One Pro, not their standard versions. Do not assume a soundcore hard-case bundle or a host USB-C adapter is included. |
What you give up
Every choice has a cost
If you choose Sennheiser ACCENTUM Plus Wireless
- The supplied cable has a USB-A host end. A USB-C-only computer needs a suitable data adapter or another compatible data connection.
If you choose soundcore Space One Pro
- LDAC needs a supporting Android 8 or later source, app setup and any requested update. It gives up dual connections and Dolby Audio and reduces playtime.
Recommendation switch
The decision flips if...
A direct USB headset replaces extra desk equipment
Choose Sennheiser ACCENTUM Plus Wireless. USB playback and microphone input become decisive when the compatible host permits them, the data cable or adapter fits, and losing Bluetooth during ACCENTUM Plus USB use is acceptable. Otherwise that desk advantage disappears.
The inward-folded protected package solves a verified bag-fit problem
Choose soundcore Space One Pro. A verified bag-space shortage favors Space One Pro only if the folded headphones fit inside your chosen protection and bag and Bluetooth or 3.5 mm audio sufficient. Its supplied pouch is not a hard case.
LDAC from one supported Android source matters more than dual connections
Choose soundcore Space One Pro. Prioritizing LDAC over a second connection favors Space One Pro with a supporting Android 8 or later source and completed app/firmware setup. The mode also excludes Dolby Audio and reduces playtime.
LDAC and two simultaneous Bluetooth device connections are both required
Choose neither. ACCENTUM Plus does not list LDAC, and Space One Pro disables dual connections in LDAC mode. No cable, app setting or folded shape in this comparison supplies both together.
What matters in practice
Before you choose
Decide whether the cable must carry microphone input, whether the protected headphones fit your bag, and whether LDAC matters more than a second Bluetooth connection.
What this comparison cannot tell you
- This comparison uses manufacturer instructions and exact-model package evidence. No listening, isolation, microphone-quality, comfort, fit or battery-runtime test was performed.
- Space One Pro documentation labels USB-C for charging and describes analog wired listening, without a direct USB digital-audio setup. This page does not turn that connector into a USB headset claim or promise compatibility with a game console.
- The Space One Pro guide says not to turn the headphones on while charging, while its FAQ discusses possible electrical noise during AUX use with charging. Neither is used to claim that every analog-and-charge configuration is impossible. A battery-free analog fallback for Space One Pro is not established here.
- Folding describes a mechanism, not measured bag fit or case protection. Codec support describes compatibility, not a demonstrated audible advantage. No current price, seller, stock or offer is asserted.
